    You're not dumb at all!!! I knew nothing about this stuff 6 months ago!

    The Nitto Albatross bar at Rivendell is a 25.4

    25.4...which means that I then get to select 9 or 10 cm length. Any suggestions?

    Sandra- you need to know whether your bike takes a threaded or a threadless stem before you order stuff. I think DebW can help you with how to figure it out- PM her first!

    I think it's pretty obviously a threaded quill stem...

    9 or 10 is a matter of comfort. That is the measurement from the center of the steerer tube to the center of the handlebars. With albatross bars, it's not such a critical thing since they are very forgiving...

    hummm. I put these handlebars on when it got here. I saw them and know what they look like, but I have no idea what they are.
